Scrutinizing students’ practices of and attitudes toward translanguaging in Indonesian emi contexts / Titik Puspitasari
Abstrak
This research investigates students practices of and attitudes toward their translanguaging behavior in a private university EMI program in Indonesia. Through rapid linguistic ethnography (LE) three meetings of the International Psychology Program of Universitas Muhammadiyah Malang (IPP-UMM) were video-recorded. Following that semi structured interviews were done with IPP-UMM students who translanguage during the observed meetings in order to gain deeper insight on students rsquo attitude toward their translanguaging. Four translanguaging categories by Wang and Churt-Christiansen (2018) and Saldana rsquo s (2016) model were adapted for the data analysis. The first finding revealed that students were mostly applying cross language recapping (CLR) followed by Simultaneous code mixing (SCM) and a little portion of Dual language substantiation (DLS). No evidence of Bilingual Label Quest (BLQ) was found during the observation. Furthermore the interview finding suggested that IPP students are open to translanguaging. Their response indicates a willingness to use multiple languages based on context and needs. This research breaks new ground by investigating the understudied area of translanguaging practices and attitudes among students in Indonesian English-Medium Instruction (EMI) contexts. While translanguaging has been widely explored in various global settings there is a scarcity of research focusing on its application in Indonesian EMI environments. By scrutinizing both the practices and attitudes of students this study can serve as a resource for the policy makers and classroom practitioners in maximizing the effectiveness of the EMI program which may also result in an update to the university s EMI policy.
